[[File:Casa da Moeda Calaine 1795.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The original [[Casa da Moeda]] in [[Calaine]] began to circulate the [[Escudo]] in [[1795]], ending the reign of the Peseta.]] | |||
In January 1795, following the dissolution of the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth, President Silvio Ramos directed the federal government to cease the circulation of the Peseta, the former currency of the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth. On 18 March 1795, the National Congress authorized the Department of the Treasury to initiate the design and development of a new currency, named the [[Escudo]]. The [[Casa da Moeda]] in [[Calaine]] completed the process on 22 September 1795, with circulation commencing on 30 October of the same year, coinciding with the 165th year of Cartadania's existence. | |||
In 1798, Cartadania turned its attention to [[Vachena]], its western neighbor, which had been separated for 165 years due to the Compactum Caridonis. Despite the agreement stating the continued separation of Cartadania and Vachena during Caphiria's imperial occupation of Vachena, difficulties arose due to Cartadania's disjointed territory, leaving many Caphirians in Vachena. Under the Compactum, Vachena was to be returned to the Caridon people, now Cartadania, but the influence of Caphiria in Vachena prevented the enforcement of the agreement. | |||
In the spring of 1798, the western states of Santiago and Victoria began propagating the notion of prosperity to Vachena's Iordas and Carina provinces, ultimately seeking territorial expansion. Interactions between the people of Carina and the Victorians and Santiagans led to increased mingling and economic activities. Victorians went on to establish their own farms in Vachena, generating additional income from the sprawling rural landscape of its southern interior, and due to the vast majority of then-western Cartadanians ability to speak Latin with dialects similar to those of eastern Vachena, it had become difficult to enforce the rule of the Compactum and those border states were willing to challenge its legality in most instances. The uprisings in Carina in late summer prompted the Vachenan military to intervene, causing tensions along the [[Trentine River.]] The Supreme Court questioned the validity of the Compactum Caridonis, leading to Senate Resolution 16, which addressed the Supreme Court's inquiry into the legal foundations of the Compactum Caridonis. In light of the Court's examination and potential findings that the Compactum's terms, especially concerning the duration of separation, were ambiguous or subject to interpretation, the Senate passed Resolution 16 to clarify and assert Cartadania's position on the matter. It explicitly stated Cartadania's interpretation of the Compactum, emphasizing the expiration of the separation agreement in [[1730]] and asserting the legality of reunification based on the will of the respective people. It also granted the federal government specific powers and directives to manage the evolving situation, such as facilitating annexation processes or negotiations with Vachena, though negotiations would not take place until much later. | |||

In March 1799, the First Vachena Crisis unfolded, spreading civil unrest and leaving the southeast interior of Vachena vulnerable. Marked by Cartadania's annexation of the southern portion of the country, it stemmed from a complex interplay of historical, cultural, and economic factors. The region's diverse ethnic composition, encompassing the indigenous Lumbhardi, Ireneans, and Caphirians, contributed to a nuanced cultural landscape. Cartadania had since asserted historical ties, pointing to shared linguistic and cultural elements, reinforcing its claim to the annexed areas, especially those directly adjacent to the Trentine River. Economically, the prosperity of Cartadanian regions, particularly Santiago and Victoria, played a pivotal role in the decisions of the period. The influx of settlers and economic activities from Cartadania underscored the economic success achieved under its governance, justifying the annexation as a means of fostering progress and stability. Security concerns along the border, aggravated by tensions and uprisings, provided impetus for Cartadania to consolidate control and ensure stability through annexation. | |||
The unrest in Carina reached Iordas and Faraya, leading to the Vachenan Parliament's emergency order to suppress the uprising. Governors Venza Sentinate and Caille Herini of Carina and Iordas petitioned for voluntary annexation. This voluntary support for annexation within the regions, driven by a desire for integration, added a crucial dimension to Cartadania's narrative. Despite the initial refusal by the National Congress, the Supreme Court ordered compliance with the Compactum. Senate Resolution 17, authorized in October 1730, resulted in the de jure annexation of Iordas, Carina, and the Southern Territory, constituting what would become the modern-day states of [[Ferara]], [[Lombardia]], [[Miraflores]], [[Toscana]], and the western panhandle of [[Loumara]]. | |||
The legal battles between Cartadania and Vachena persisted, with Vachena considering involving Caphiria's Tribunalis Ultima, though the court ultimately refused due to ongoing situations in Caphiria itself. Although the first crisis did not escalate to the point of war, the annexation strained Carto-Vachenan relations and ultimately severed connections between Caroleena and Alahuela. Congress did not fully annex Vachena; instead, on 1 September 1799, it united Carina and most of Iordas, forming the state of Lumbhardi. Amid the ongoing Vachena Crisis, Congress expedited the admission of Lumbhardi as the fourteenth state on 15 December 1799. This decision drew opposition from Vachenans in Caroleena. Public sentiment improved when Congress permitted dual citizenship, marking the first instance of dual-citizenship between the two nations, ironically during a period where the two nations were at odds. | |||
